Pitt Ohio Express has conducted a major retrofit campaign by equipping its entire fleet with BrakeSentry visual brake stroke indicators.
“This is consistent with our commitment to safety, both for the public and our drivers,” says Dennis Martin, director of maintenance for the Pittsburgh-based carrier. “By providing our drivers and technicians with a quick and reliable means to visually check critical brake stroke measurements, BrakeSentry effectively reduces our maintenance costs while improving every aspect of brake safety and compliance.”
Daniel Judson, technical director of Asheville, N.C.-based Brake Sentry, describes his company’s product as a simple, versatile and universal kit that improves brake compliance and provides an effective, low-cost solution to the industry’s most frequently cited out-of-service violation.
